I ended up copying the -s option the same way lamby copied the --bpo
option to create --sru in #871657. Not ideal, but at this point it's the
way of the land...

So attached are patches to add a --lts option. I figured I would do
*some* refactoring while I was there to avoid further code duplication.
I haven't tested all scenarios (and the test suite is limited in that
regard) but this mostly works in my tests locally.
